1999, retired los Angeles detective Steve? Howard's 9 1 year-old father George? After hoddle died, he rushed to his father's home in the Philippines to deal with the aftermath. While sorting out his father's family photo album, he came across two photos. The woman in the photo is Elizabeth? Ann? short

Steve worked as a policeman in LAPD for 24 years, investigated hundreds of murders, and knew the black dahlia case like the back of his hand. After several studies, Steve confirmed an unacceptable but real suspicion that her father was the murderer of Elizabeth.

First of all, the investigators in charge of the "Black Dahlia" case at that time came to the conclusion: "The method of the murderer cutting the body is very professional, and only people with real surgical skills can do it." Houdl's father George happened to be a surgeon. Steve wrote in his new book black dahlia The Avengers 2: "Her body is his canvas, and his scalpel is his brush." Steve pointed out that a sign on the hips of a dead dwarf is a shadow drawn by crossing parallel lines. Is that George? Howard's favorite painter and friend Mann? Ray's modus operandi.

Secondly, shortly after Elizabeth's body was found, a newspaper received an ironic short message written by the murderer himself. Steve took out a document with his father's handwriting from home and asked an expert to identify it. It turns out that the handwriting is consistent with the two.

The suspect's private life was chaotic and he had close contact with the deceased.

It is reported that George? Howard's private life is extremely disorderly: he has been married three times and had 1 1 children with five women.

In the 1940s, organized by George, many wild parties were held in Los Angeles, and many Hollywood female stars were attracted by George's charm. Ann? Short is one of them.

Why did George kill Elizabeth? Steve said that a large part of the reason is jealousy. George is very possessive, and Elizabeth keeps a close relationship with another man during her relationship with George. In addition, George is sadistic and can get pleasure from killing people. In addition to Elizabeth, more than a dozen Los Angeles women were killed in connection with George.

Although George was once listed as a suspect, he got special protection because he was engaged in illegal abortion business in partnership with some people in the police station, and the police investigation on him was dropped. 1950, when the district court prosecutor prepared to re-investigate George, he had fled to the Philippines alone and was not punished by any law until his death.

By the way, the black dahlia tragedy is famous not only because the deceased died miserably, but also because she was brutally tortured for 36 to 48 hours before her death.

The autopsy report showed that she was tied upside down before she died, and her mouth was stuffed with wax for hemostasis. She has many cigarette burns on her body. The victim was forced to swallow feces, his arm was bruised and fractured, his legs were broken from his knees, his fingers were broken, and several nails were pulled out. In addition, there are countless knife wounds and bruises hit by sticks. The police do not rule out that the victim was cut open before his death.
